For me at least, I've enjoyed quite a few Hitchcock films (The 39 steps, Rope, Saboteur, Dial M for Murder). I also think Seven Samurai, Rififi, and Mutiny on the Bounty are pretty cool films too. What about the rest of you? What are your favs?
Define "Classic Films." Personally, I'd consider it anything before Blow-Up or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, since, as an amateur film historian, their demolishing the Hays Code is a convenient enough place to draw a dividing line.
In my case my favorite was Night of the Hunter, third only to A Clockwork Orange and Taxi Driver in my book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auccmqO45a8

I liked Molly Ringwald's teen movies, and even Lost In Translation is old, now (2003).

I don't really know what you mean by "classic", but Goodfellas and the Godfather films are my favourites.

Too many to list. I'm a splitter, not a lumper (cinematically speaking). My favourite classic silent comedy is 'City Lights', my favourite classic sound comedy is 'Some Like It Hot'. My favourite musical with Gene Kelly is 'An American In Paris', my favourite musical without Gene Kelly is 'Paint Your Wagon'. And so on.
I could go on, but this is the point at which peoples' eye tend to go a bit glassy. Boru

Going from Boru's categories:
Favorite Silent Comedy (well, mostly silent, anyway): Modern Times Favorite Sound Comedy: The Apartment (I am genuinely surprised that it gets so often overshadowed by Some Like it Hot) Favorite musical: The Band Wagon (Anti-intellectual implications aside) Favorite Gene Kelly Musical: An American in Paris (it's so close, but the Gershwin ballet really breaks the tie for me)
